Brown, Michael D., US Shadow Senator | (202) 727-1000

Despite the position's name, shadow senators are not truly affiliated with the United States Senate; they are actually affiliated with the District of Columbia's government. As a shadow senator, Brown is neither allowed to vote on the floor of the United States Senate, nor even be present on the floor itself Strauss does not have an office in the United States Senate building, but he does have one in the District of Columbia's government's office building.

As a non-voting representative to the United States Senate, Brown lobbies the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the citizens of D.C. in their attempt to gain full Federal representation, self-determination, and eventually admittance to the union as a state. Brown has no paid staff, although he does have unpaid interns. The Senator also works closely with the District's Congressional Delegate, the Office of the Mayor, and the City Council to advance the interest of local residents on Federal issues. Unlike the District's Delegate, Brown may not vote in House committees, does not have an office in any of the House office buildings, and receives neither a salary nor funding from the federal government.
